Simbiogénesis

2025

With this installation I explore the body from a place that is no longer solely human. The corporealities that make it up are constructed from used garments — fabrics recovered from bales — that were in direct contact with other bodies and carry histories of use, circulation, and disposal. They are remnants of a consumption system that produces bodies and materials destined to be rapidly replaced.

When reused, these garments cease to respond to a fixed function and transform into open matter, available to other ways of being. In earth and skin tones, the textiles acquire a visceral, ambiguous quality, like organisms in mutation. Among them appear ceramic pieces, some mixed with the textile, that tension the relationship between the rigid and the soft, what resists and what yields, in an exploration of flexibility and transformation.

The bodies are not conceived to be fixed in an established order. I seek to keep the materials in a state of constant negotiation: they can support one another, shift, or recombine according to the space and the tensions that arise between them. This possibility of reconfiguration interrupts hierarchies and allows each part to find its own way of coexisting without pre-assigned functions.

There is a latent movement, a "not yet" that runs through the installation. The pieces are held in that fertile indecision, between the desire to contain and the impossibility of defining. From there I think of cohabitation as the experience of bodies that coexist without closing themselves off, in a state of shared transformation.
